Thurs, 12/15, Cambridge: "Forum on the Russuan Revolution"

The Occupy movement nationally has drawn inspiration from the revolts and revolutions happening from Tunisia to Egypt to Greece and Chile. It has also in turn inspired millions to see struggle as the only way to win. There are many questions in our movement about whether this is a revolution, or if not, how people's ideas change in favor of a revolution? The Russian Revolution of 1917 gives us a historical glimpse into how mass movements turned into a revolution that put working people into the seat of power for the first time in history.

Join this discussion with the Cambridge branch of the International Socialist Organization to discuss the lessons of the revolution and the organized power of workers in seizing control from the Russian 1%. This discussion will be focused on this article - http://www.isreview.org/issues/03/russian_revolution.shtml.

We will also be talking about the recent raid on Dewey Square and what's next with Occupy Boston, along with a brief discussion on an education and reading plan for the next few weeks this winter.
